Annoying Pop up warning about encrypted connection

Every 10 min I get a pop up (in Dutch) telling me that the email scanner cannot scan messages because the connection was encrypted, but in my setting encryprion is off, waht should I do?

Thanks Barry. So this will stop only the notifications, not the scanning of my email?

yes Jeanine , you can rest assured of that : this method will disable those popups , but will not stop the scanning of your email messages :)

I am not convinced that this has been fully answered.
I have multiple accounts, some are encrypted and some aren't. I seem to be getting the same pop-up, but only for the encrypted accounts.
And if emails are scanned even if they are encrypted, what is the point of the pop-up? If they aren't scanned, it must surely pose a risk. So does the procedure given in 'Set up AVG E-mail Protection to scan encrypted e-mails' apply to both encrypted and unencrypted accounts?
